Major Feature Release - Performance & Reliability Enhancements

This release includes 32 commits with significant new features, critical bug fixes, and security improvements since v1.5.0.

🌟 Major New Features

🧠 Intelligent Caching System (NEW)

• 70-90% reduction in API calls through smart author/narrator lookup caching
• Configurable TTL with automatic cleanup and performance metrics
• Cross-role lookup optimization and publisher support
• Built-in cache statistics and memory management

📊 Enhanced Progress Detection (NEW)

• Multi-endpoint support with automatic fallbacks between /api/me and /api/me/listening-sessions
• Proper detection of manually finished books using isFinished flags
• Cross-validation between multiple data sources for accuracy
• Comprehensive debug logging for troubleshooting

🏗️ Complete Local Image Upload (NEW)

• Full implementation for AudiobookShelf cover image handling
• Multi-stage upload process: create edition first, then upload local images
• Automatic image-to-edition association and linking
• Smart URL detection for local vs external images

🔧 Critical Bug Fixes

Edition Field NULL Bug (CRITICAL)

• Fixed critical bug where edition field became null in user_book_read entries
• Root cause: Missing edition_id field in GraphQL mutations
• Impact: Prevents data loss and maintains reading history integrity
• Solution: Updated both insert and update mutations with proper edition ID validation

Book ID Deduplication Fix

• Fixed handling of deduped books with canonical IDs in Hardcover
• Automatic redirection using canonical_id when book_status_id = 4
• Enhanced GraphQL queries to include deduplication fields
• Real-world tested with "The Third Gilmore Girl" case

RE-READ Detection Fix

• Fixed false positives for manually finished books
• Enhanced logic using /api/me endpoint for accurate detection
• Prevents books from being incorrectly treated as re-read scenarios
• Added safeguards for books with finished reads but 0% API progress

🔒 Security Improvements

• Go 1.24.4-alpine upgrade resolving 3 CVEs:
  • CVE-2025-4673 (Proxy-Authorization headers issue)
  • CVE-2025-0913 (O_CREATE|O_EXCL handling inconsistency)
  • CVE-2025-22874 (VerifyOptions.KeyUsages issue)
• Zero HIGH/CRITICAL vulnerabilities in Trivy security scans

⚡ Performance Enhancements

• Massive performance improvements for large libraries
• Intelligent caching reducing API load by 70-90%
• Optimized GraphQL queries fetching only necessary data
• Automatic memory management with cache cleanup
• Reduced redundant operations through smart detection logic

�� Code Quality & Maintenance

Honest ASIN Implementation

• Removed misleading "enhanced with external metadata" claims
• Implemented transparent ASIN reference system
• Cleaned up non-functional Audible API integration code
• Clear source attribution with "hardcover+asin" tracking

Project Structure

• Organized project structure for better maintainability
• Moved scripts to scripts/ directory
• Consolidated documentation in docs/ directory
• Better test organization by feature area

🏗️ Additional Fixes

• Status Update Bug: Fixed missing user book status mutations
• GraphQL Issues: Fixed various mutation problems with local URLs
• Want to Read Logic: Prevents finished books from incorrect status assignment
• URL Handling: Enhanced support for reverse proxy configurations

📋 Migration Notes

• No breaking changes - all existing configurations continue to work
• New environment variables are optional with sensible defaults:
  • CACHE_TTL_MINUTES (default: 60) - Configure caching duration
• Performance improvements are automatic - no configuration required
• Security fixes are applied automatically with the Docker image update

🙏 Thank You

This release represents significant work to improve performance, reliability, and user experience. The intelligent caching system alone provides massive performance benefits for users with large libraries.
